Grilled Corn Salad with Tomatoes topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 ears of sweet corn, in husks
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- Zest and juice of 3 limes
- 0.5 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ripe avocado, halved and diced
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 6 thinly sliced green onions
- 3/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Preparation:
- Soak the corn in its husks in a bowl of heavily salted water and refrigerate overnight. Press down on the corn with a plate and a jar to ensure it's completely submerged.
- Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-low heat.
- Place the husk-covered corn on the grill grate, cover, and cook, turning occasionally, for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the garlic, jalapeño, and a large pinch of salt. Add the lime zest, lime juice, and olive oil and toss to combine. Add the avocado, tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro and toss gently.
- Remove the corn from the grill. When the cobs have cooled slightly, husk them, remove the hair, and trim the kernels with a knife. Add to the bowl with the vegetables. Stir. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
